"Transformed from a former orphanage into a lush oasis in the Lower Garden District, I was moved by the building's century-long history — including a stained-glass window that looks onto the street where a nun once waited for abandoned boys — and by how the hotel now sets 75 guest rooms around bamboo-filled outdoor spaces, an internal courtyard and a guests-only pool. Opened in 2021, the property blends playful and formal dining with a private bar in the former chapel and a French-Vietnamese café, and some former residents have even returned to celebrate weddings here, giving the place a poignant sense of continuity." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The group followed that by converting a guest house into a boutique hotel in New Orleans, illustrating its pattern of hotel-to-restaurant/hospitality transformations." - Melissa McCart
"A boutique hotel created within a restored 19th-century orphanage that reflects a design-forward, community-minded approach to hospitality, aiming to immerse guests in local culture and neighborhood revival." - Jennifer Flowers
"Hotel Saint Vincent is somewhere you can snack on shrimp cocktail, sip on cocktails in their lobby Paradise Lounge, which also has an outdoor patio, and dance the night away. There’s always a lot happening here, whether that’s plates of lobster bucatini served up at their Italian restaurant San Lorenzo or visiting indie rock bands mingling with locals and tourists. Come here for a Saint Vincent Spritz, even if you’re not staying at the hotel.

"Located in the alluring Lower Garden District, Hotel Saint Vincent has the air of a laid back country club with expansive public spaces, shade-giving palms, and many a porch on which to sip a Mint Julep as the sun dips down in the evening. A couple of bars and two lovely restaurants are great additions to one of the neighborhood’s rare hotel swimming pools. The tastefully tropical decor gives off a retro, Riviera-like ambiance. The elegance of the pool area alone makes this a hotel worth visiting; add to that the originality and visual charisma of the interior design and you’ve got one of the city’s—nay, the region’s most interesting hotels. From traditionally religious fixtures to daringly erotic paintings, there’s an elevated sultriness about the place that just works like a charm." - Paul Oswell
